About GPS Cycle Computers
GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.

Good Upgrade
I purchased this after my edge 305 gave up its life to a bus on teh way home.
The Edge 500 is a great device and a good improvement on the Edge 300, the fastening system is much better and should prevent this one losing its life in the same manor. it seems to find satellites a lot quicker and is working well with the old HR monitor and Candace from my old Edge.
A good upgrade.

Great, needs software update
Love the Garmin 500, small, neat and really useful. Needs a software update to allow the lap feature to work perfectly (Garmin know this apparently, and are working on it), but still the best computer out there for me.
10 July 2010
Absolutely Brilliant
Having owned a polar S725X before the integration with maps was an absolute revelation. So nice being able to view your ride afterwards and play this through with speed, heartrate, altitude and temperature stats showing. The garmin connect website integrates directly with Google maps and allows you to view others rides, runs, swims or whatever through the garmin community. Which is nice if your in a different part of the world and looking for a route.
In fairness though the downloadable software is a little poor with the maps pretty dreadful in comparison with Google Maps. So just use the website instead which will allow you to view your information from any computer, phone, iPad etc.
07 July 2010
Recently downgraded from the 705 unit to this for many reasons
1) the size of the 705 is huge, this is less half and about 50grams lighter.
2) I don't have any functional use for the maps
3) I waited for the black 500 model to come out, looks great
I love how the charger simple actually counters up or down and tells you in % what power is left.
So far so good, alot of custom options, two bike mounts provided which was a great bonus. Wiggles prices and service is second to none.

Answer:
I've got the Black, my mate the blue. Difference is only in plastic case. You can have up to 8 funstions dusplaying on any of the 3 screens.Country : Australia
1 year, 9 months ago
Answer:
Yes, you can adjust the number of sections on the screen to suit what you want. I currently have 8 displayed.Answer:
You can change the number of fields displayed from 3 up to 8. The more fields, the smaller they get, but if you have excellent vision in high speed pressure situations it's OK.You also have up to 3 pages of fields available and each can be configured differently. You can also set the Garmin to auto scroll between them.
There are heaps of available fields, so you can go nuts with information, or just keep it simple. It depends on your preference.
1 year, 11 months ago
Answer:
The screen displays are user set, you can put whatever you want on each of 3 pages. My front page is speed/HR/distance/cadence, page 2 is 8 boxes of stats (totals) and page 3 is my climbing page (climb rate, elev, dist). Most versatile computer I've ever had!And yes, both computers are identical, just differ by colour.

Answer:
You can customise how many sections you need on the display from 1 to 8. You can then choose what you want displayed from an endless list of possibilities. You also have three different displays to choose from at any time while riding with up to eight sections again. Fantastic choice.Country : South Africa

Answer:
It is possible to configure the device to have as many data fields on the screen as you like - up to 7 I think. Also you have have them auto scroll as you move - I like to have my current info on one screen and averages on the next one... it's highly adjustable and the best way to measure your performance on the bikeCountry : Australia

Sure does as its just USB connectivity ... but does depend on the version of OSX. Have a look at the Garmin website for details. There is a plug-in you download which enables upload of data to the Garmin Connect site. And also there is an app (Garmin Training Centre) that you can install but the Garmin Connect site is so good that I don't bother with the app.The only thing I have noticed is the "Player" on the Connect website don't seem to work very well on Safari.

Answer:
Although I have the speed/cadence sensor, I have been told by a friend who also has the Edge 500 with a GSC10 sensor, that the unit actually uses the GPS to calculate speed and distance anyhow. And will turn to the sensor when it loses GPS reception.1 year, 6 months ago

Answer:
You dont need ANY sensors for the 500. They are optional. I believe they work with most cadence & heart rate sensors.Country : Australia
1 year, 9 months ago
Answer:
I have two road bikes. One I use the speed/cadence sensor, and the other just the Edge unit (using GPS speed). No issues, it is accurate and I use the cadence off the old computer. Best thing is the Edge stores the stats for all bikes, you just need to select it at the beginning of the ride.Tip: you need to name your bikes in Edge if you want to input current odo readings.

Answer:
Unit can stand alone or works with heart rate; speed\cadence (one unit) or even ANT+ power meters. You need separate sensors for different bikes but can load specs of two bikes on to unit (weight etc)Country : South Africa
2 years, 2 months ago
Answer:
This unit does not need sensors mounted to the bike for speed and distance but yes it will need one for cadence. The computer uses GPS data to calculate speed and distance travelled. You will need to be moving for the data to be accurate, if you want to use the computer on a turbo trainer you will need the sensors also.2 years, 3 months ago

As many as you like, you need to recharge every 15-18 hours, so whilst this is happening I download my rides to Garmin Connect. To speed downloads, I periodically delete ride data from the Edge whilst hooked up to the computer in the same way data is deleted from a USB stick.

Does the Garmin Edge 500 in black come with GSC™ 10 Speed/Cadence sensor ie is it in the box.
Country : Irish Republic
Answers
Answer:
No there seprate with this black version1 year, 5 months ago
Answer:
No it doesn't. I bought the GSC10 and heart rate sensor separate. Cost more but I really wanted to black and not the blue (for which has a bundled kit). Other thing to think about is whether your interested purely in the speed sensor. If you're not too concern about measuring your cadence and only interested in the speed sensor, you may not need it as the Edge uses GPS to calculate speed anyhow.1 year, 6 months ago

Answer:
Just opened up my box here in Australia last week. Hooked into satellite no problem.Took a bit of a gamble with the power. Guess what - it uses USB to charge. It will charge on USB while you are at work, uploading your data, surfing the web or use a mains USB charger (just tested using my wifes MP3 players charger).
Data and charging are via a mini USB plug on the back.
It comes with a mains USB charger with 3 different plug converters, not an Aussie one, but I won't need it anyway.
